Please note there is an additional signature present on the same page! Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to ascertain, with an acceptable degree of certainty, the identity of the other individual who also signed this book.For this reason, we MUST proceed with an abundance of caution and assume it is simply the signature of a previous owner.We MUST assume the additional signature adds no monetary value of has any cultural significance.If anything, the other signature should be viewed as an unfortunate flaw.

The wear, particularly near/along the edges, is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. Knowing how difficult it is to find Signed First Editions of this title, if this copy was in better condition, our asking price would be considerably higher. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is VERY clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
